Experiments with varied PACl dosages were ran to test the performance of the stacked rapid sand filter. Head loss and effluent turbidity were collected from the experiments with influent water at 5 NTU. The data from these experiments were used to create a mathematical model on the performance of the filter. The created model will then be used to write a research paper on a model for stacked rapid sand filters. The team hopes to publish this paper.
Spring 2017
This semester, the StaRS Filter Theory team will continue to work on the paper that was started last semester by refining the theoretical explanations, verifying all mathematical expressions, and finalizing visual diagrams and graphs.
